THE reply of Mr.. Gladstone to t

THE reply Of Mr.. Gladstone to the
Radical clubs in regard to the occu-
pancy of Trafalgar Square for public
meetings in defiance OF the prohibition
of the Crown officers was what might
have been expected. The Radicals
evidently believed he would sympa-
thize with them in any action they
might take against the Tory officials,
but Mr.. Gladstone planted himself
squarely on the laws and advised
them that suntil a decision can be had
it is the duty of every citizen to re-
frain from all resistance to the decis-
ioE of the executive Government,
which is clearly entitled to administer
the laws according to what it may be
advised is their true construction"
since Mr.. Gladstone's reply the nigh.
est law officers of the Crown have de-
cided that the parks are the property
of the Crown and that enjoyment of
them by the people is subject to the
Crowns consent. Mr.. Gladstone,
however much he may sympathize
with the people, will abide by this de-
cision. He has no defense to make for
law-breaking, and those who are ad-
vising g. contrary course, like the Pail
Mall Gazette, are dangerous counsel

the Financial Policy.
PARIS. Nov. 19-Soon after the cham
Der of deputies met to-day the Extreme
Left moved an Interpolation OF the.
government on the question of its do
mestic policy. A motion was made by
the ministry to postpone the deb1te.
This motion was rejected by vote o SO
to PAP. Prime Minister Rouvier imme
diately announced the resignation of
the cabinet.
The motion for an Interpolation of
the government was made by NJ.
Clemenceau. Premier Rouvler de-
handed that the debate on the subject
be adjourned until the Oath inst, in the
interest of the measure for the CONVEX
sion of the public debt.
M. Clemenceau said it was a singular
method of reassuring the holders of
public funds to tell them that they could
live in peace until the oath and to prom
Use that there would then be crisis
such as had never before occurred.
The public, he declared, had too
long awaited an explanation.
There was practically no gov
ernment. The ministry was not in
condition to guide a Republican policy.
Parliament was abandoned to the direc-
ton of the Right. The law officers of
the state and the police were IN conflict
and the administrative disorder was
complete.
The division on the governments pro-
posal to adjourn the debate was taken
at the conclusion of M. Clemenceau's
speech. Upon the announcement of the
result of the vote the Chamber adj
journed until Monday amid great excite
ment.
Subsequent to the adjournment of the
Chamber, the ministers held a confer
ence, after which they proceeded to
the palace of the Elysee and placed their
resignation in the hands OF President
Grevy.
PARIS, Nov. 19.-The Journal des
Debats says to-day that the fixed inten-
ton OF President Grevy Is not to resign.
He does not admit that parliamentary
pressure can enforce presidents resig-
nation. Such state of things, he holds,
would be subversive of the constitution.
His resignation would create a mis-
chievous precedent, as his successors
would thereby be bound to resign every
time public opinion was against them.
1t is believed that only M. Graynon,
the late project of police, and NJ. Wilson
are implicated in the late scandal.

Fire Destroys Railway Plant, Throwing
500 Men Out of Employment.
CINCINNATI, o., Nov. 18.-At half-past
2 o'clock this morning fire started in
the carpenter shop of the Cincinnati
Southern Railway, at Ludlow, KY, and
spread with great rapidity owing to the
lack of water and the fact that
Ludlow has no fire department.
The immense car and machine
shops, covering two acres of ground,
were totally destroyed, together with all
the tools and machinery, and a large
number of cars and material The
round-house caught fire and it was at
first thought to be doomed, but by the
efforts Of the employees the building was
saved. Among the losses are Mann
DoudoIr car, pay car, private car,
two Pullman cars, three passen-
ger coaches, seven flats loaded
with coal, and twenty-five new freight
cars. About 500 employees will be
thrown out Of employment, and it will
require a long time to rebuild the
burned property. The loss cannot yet
be fairly stated, but exceeds 100000.
Ludlow is small village on the Ken
lucky side Of the Ohio River. opposite
the western part of Cincinnati, and is
mainly depend mt on the Southern
Railway shops for employment for its
inhabitants.
Late estimates of the total loss make
it $l75, 200. 1t is fully insured in two
London companies.

THE announcement that the Impe-
rial Bank OF Germany has refused to
lend money on Russian securities will
probably make the peaceful war which
has been waged for year or more be-
tween the two countries assume a new
phase. If Russia finds that it cannot
secure sufficient money in the Eu-
ropean financial centers without the
aid of Germany, the Russian tariff
determinations against the Kaiser's
domain will undoubtedly be lessened.
But if, on the other hand, Germany's
help is not deemed essential, the Mus
covite commercial restrictions against
the Teuton are likely to be further in
creased

one Hundred Guests OF the Saratoga at
Chicago Driven Out by Fire.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. Hover one hun
dred guests occupying the six floors Of
the Saratoga European Hotel in Dear
born Street were aroused from their
beds shortly before o'clock this morn
ing by the ringing of the electric fire
alarm in their rooms. Smoke was pour
ing through the halls and creeping in at
the transom. Women and men fed
into the street clad in their
night clothes. The Gathering of
the fire engines aroused the occupants of
several hotels in the neighborhood, and
the excitement became intense. The
fire started in the kitchen of the Sarato-
ga restaurant on the first floor and
spread throughout the building. Half
an hours hard work subdued the fire
sufficiently to permit a search of the
rooms. 1t was at first believed that
some of the guests had been caught in
the fire, but none were found. About
quarter of 3, after several of the engines
had been dismissed, the fire broke out
afresh on the top floor and in short
while the entire seventh story was
ablaze. The building was again flooded
with water. and from this and smoke
most of the damage will accrue. At 3
o'clock the fire was entirely unoer con-
troll.
The building is owned by the Cham
bers estate and is damaged to the extent
of perhaps $l2, 900 or $4,000. The res
taurant is Quilted and the furniture al
most entirely destroyed, entailing loss
of at least $4,000. The damage to the
hotel furniture is about $1,000.

THE talk about the subsidies OF
Great Britain to it's shipping has
grown wearisome, says the New York
World. Properly speaking, Great
Britain does not practice subsidy
system. To all the vessels carrying
mails during the present fiscal year to
America, Africa, Asia, and the islands
of the Pacific the sum Of 9592,1 49
will be paid, and part Of this will be
repaid by foreign governments. This
is pay for mail service and comes un-
der the post-office business. Nor is it
excessive gay. Great Britain pays
100000, or $500, 900, for the carriage
of it's mails to the United States. We
paid $287,927 for transatlantic ser
vice last year eastward only, and
most OF it went to British boats.
Did we ''subsidize them?" This is not
the kind of substituting the advocates
of subsidies are asking for.

Striking Miners Use the Torch in the

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. ia special
dispatch to the Evening Bulletin from
Wilkesbarre says there is great excite
ment among the people of
Hazleton this morning. The in
cendiary with his torch Is
abroad. At o'clock this morning two
large coal breakers were set on fire.
Drifton. It was owned by Coke Bros,
and was one of the largest structures of
it's kind in the lower coal field.
It was valued at 100000; the insurance
is 1927, 900. The other breaker was stu
ated at Newback Mountain and was
known as Newback Mountain Colliery
No. 2. The loss is $50, 900; insurance I'M
known. Both breakers burned about
the same time. This is the third break
er burned within week. Now the in
surance companies are getting alarmed.
The companies say that riot is now run
ming mad among the destitute and hun
cry strikers.
AS last resort in order to compel the
operators to come to time, the strikers,
it is believed here, set to work to burn
the property of the companies.
Both breakers burned this morn
ing were operated by "scab"
labor. This is what makes
the belief strong that the structures
were set on fire by the strikers. The
strikers deny that they had anything to
do with setting the buildings on fire.
The excitement is at fever heat at
Drifton. The companies have tele-
graphed to Gov. Beaver for militia. The
strikers threaten to fight the militia if
they put in an appearance.

Nevertheless, if the wrong ht-iron men

FORT WAYNE, Ind, Nov. 18.-The city
of Fort Wayne, with population of 49,,
coo, seems to be about to experience the
horrors of q water famine. Because of
the long drought the water in the sup
ply basin, as well as the small streams
that contribute to it has SO failed
that not enough pressure is CIV
en- to the mains to operate the
elevators in the hotels and other tall
buildings, and their use has been aban-
doned. The electric light company has
served notice that not enough waterscan
be had from the mains to supply
their engines and the inconvenience
of complete or partial darkness at night
is to be added to the promised water
famine. Meantime, when fire or two
would find the department crippled,
the City Council and the waterworks
trustees are at logger-heads and abuse
each ether in the public press.
